A compact monopole antenna for ultra‐wideband applications

Abstract: In this paper, a slotted circular ultra‐wideband (UWB) microstrip patch antenna is reported. The antenna is designed, simulated, fabricated, and tested experimentally. The antenna operates over a 4.0‐40 GHz (164% fractional bandwidth) range with a return loss of 10 dB and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) < 2. The designed monopole antenna is of dimensions 28.1 mm × 17.1 mm with an electrical size of 0.37 λ × 0.23 λ at 4 GHz frequency. The antenna is fabricated on FR‐4 substrate with a dielectric permittivity… Show more

“…In [19], a hemispherical monopole with ground plane at the back-end was proposed offering a frequency range of 2.8 to 11.97 GHz and an elliptic patch antenna was discussed as a body-coupled wideband antenna with close to 4 GHz bandwidth in [20]. A circular monopole antenna with a pentagonal cut on the radiating element and ground plane on the back-end exhibited a huge bandwidth from 4 GHz to 40 GHz in [21]. Therefore, there is a need to design antennas which can support future UWB systems with wider bandwidths, without compromising on the ground plane and feedline.…”

“…The bandwidth (BW) ratio of SWB antennas is greater than 10:1. Multiple wideband antennas have been designed for UWB [1][2][3][4][5] and SWB [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] applications. The large dimensions/size of such wideband antennas is a major challenge.…”
